Star Fleet Marine Corps (2208)

• Back to Star Fleet Organization

The Star Fleet Ground Attack Marines (SGAM), later Star Fleet Marine Corps (SMC), is a direct descendant of the United Earth's Military Assault Commandos (MACO), as well as the naval infantry of the other UFP founding members that participated in the Romulan War. Upon the UFP Star Fleet's founding, the SFMC was consolidated from available ground forces into several expeditionary forces, each led by a Lieutenant General. These expeditionary forces are deployed into major combat areas and are comprised of the number of divisions determined to be appropriate for that combat area. Star Fleet Support Operations maintains transports to deliver Marines to combat areas and assault ships to deliver them to combat areas; Aerospace Operations provides ship-to-surface transport via the assault crafts employed in its Mobility Wings. The SFMC also has a special operations force, called Rapid Reaction Teams (RRT), each comprised of 12 Marines. These will usually be deployed on sector command ships, in order to be quickly available for small-scale incidents (usually ship boardings, but also any incidents where the time, availability or situation does not require MeSON response). Additionally, Star Fleet will sometimes set aside ships-of-the-line (such as frigates, destroyers and light cruisers) dedicated to providing full and rapid support to a Rapid Reaction Company, to provide a quick response solution.

The Commandant of the Marine Corps is the only Marine with the rank of General, while the Assistant Commandant holds the rank of Lieutenant General.
